BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.
Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.
The dial is carved into the stone of the north-west Clashach sandstone wall of the museum building. It was delineated by Sir Mark Lennox-Boyd and carved by Richard Kindersley. The time is shown with upright Arabic hour numerals, with hour and half-hour lines, bounded by the line of the winter solstice above and the summer solstice below. At the top of the dial is ’Gang Warily’, the motto of the Perth family, and the date ’MMI’.
